Project manager focused on chemistry and engineering related to water resources, air quality, and Environmental Health and Safety

Project Professional working to improve the environment through remediation, monitoring, and collaboration.

-Hydrogeological and Environmental Chemistry research under Dr. Thomas Harter-Statistically analyzed annual dairy reports from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) using R, Excel, and Microsoft Access-Performed nitrogen flux analysis to predict nitrate pollution in groundwater-Assessed the effectiveness of current CVRWQCB reporting programs in order to recommend better alternatives and system improvements-Collaborated with other groundwater stakeholders to develop recommendations to improve reporting system -Organized quarterly written reports and annual board meeting presentations-Composed a thesis of analyzed data, key findings, and recommendations-Managed a team of 12 undergraduate students

-Teaching assistant in the UC Davis Hydrology Department for an introductory-level Hydrogeology class-Held office hours to facilitate student learning-Designed homework assignments to evaluate student understanding-Led discussion sections to further learning and comprehension of material

-Organic chemistry research under Dr. Mitch Malachowski-Synthesized new organic molecules containing dipyrromethene donor ligands, with subsequent metal complexation using copper, cobalt, and zinc precursors-Compared the properties of these complexes to similar compounds with different side chains or other structural units -Mediated problems with experimental methods and analytical instrumentation-Provided detailed record keeping of novel design-Compiled manuscript of methods and findings

-Environmental inorganic chemistry research under Dr. Karen Goldberg -Conducted research under the NIH Bridges to PHD Award Program -Synthesized robust pincer ligands to catalyze the epoxidation of olefins using molecular oxygen-Catalysis was done in the hopes of discovering a more environmentally-friendly approach to industrial synthesis of polyurethane material-Mediated problems with the experimental methods and analytical instrumentation

-Teaching assistant for general chemistry laboratory component-Assisted the overall understanding of students by supplying an alternate perspective to the material taught by the professor-Set up laboratory experiments and assured laboratory safety
